Oppose
Please explain your reasons/add your comments below
There are several reasons for my opposition. I list two below.
1. Building houses in this location will force most of the residents to drive into and through Kendal town to go to work/to shop/to socialise. Kendal air pollution levels are above accepted and targeted norms in several streets already. This is a currently a health hazard for several hundred residences. In addition, I understand such air quality may potentially subject the residents of Kendal to fines. The plans would worsen the situation.
2. The proximity to a landfill. This is too near the old waste tips. While further away than the other land on R129, the plans take no account of EC guidance on the distance that should be preserved between landfills and buildings.
I would further refer to the earlier submission of Mrs Harvey and others, during the first consultation, relative to R129. Most of these concerns also apply to R143
Please indicate whether you support, support in part or oppose a reduction in the time span of the Land Allocations document
